Pedestrians shall be subject to traffic control signals as heretofore declared in Sections 315.060 and 315.070 of this Title, but at all other places pedestrians shall be granted those rights and be subject to the restrictions stated in this Chapter.

When
traffic control signals are not in place or not in operation, the
driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way, slowing down or
stopping if need be to so yield, to a pedestrian crossing the roadway
within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is upon the half of the roadway
upon which the vehicle is traveling, or when the pedestrian is approaching
so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger.

Whenever
any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at any unmarked crosswalk
at an intersection to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway, the
driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not overtake
and pass such stopped vehicle.

No pedestrian
shall cross a roadway intersection diagonally unless authorized by
official traffic control devices and, when authorized to cross diagonally,
pedestrians shall cross only in accordance with the official traffic
control devices pertaining to such crossing movements.

Where
sidewalks are not provided, any pedestrian walking along and upon
a highway shall, when practicable, walk only on the left side of the
roadway or its shoulder facing traffic which may approach from the
opposite direction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Title, every
driver of a vehicle shall exercise the highest degree of care to avoid
colliding with any pedestrian upon any roadway and shall give warning
by sounding the horn when necessary and shall exercise proper precaution
upon observing any child or any confused or incapacitated person upon
a roadway.

In the interest of vehicular safety, public safety and personal
safety, no person shall stand in any street, highway or roadway, including
in the median, or stand along any street, highway or roadway for the
purpose of peddling any goods or service to the occupant(s) of any
vehicle, soliciting donations from the occupant(s) of any vehicle
or distributing handbills or flyers to the occupant(s) of any vehicle
or canvassing to enlist the support for or against any particular
issue, cause, religion, philosophy, ideology or political party or
candidate from the occupant(s) of any vehicle.

The driver of a vehicle approaching a person with a visual,
aural or physical disability who is carrying a cane predominantly
white or metallic in color, with or without a red tip, or using a
guide dog, hearing dog or service dog shall yield to such pedestrian,
and any driver who fails to take such precautions shall be liable
in damages for any injury caused such pedestrian and any injury caused
to the pedestrian's guide dog, hearing dog or service dog; provided
that such a pedestrian not carrying such cane or using a guide dog,
hearing dog or service dog in any of the places, accommodations or
conveyances listed in Section 209.150, RSMo., shall have all of the
rights and privileges conferred by law upon other persons.
